St Kitts & Nevis Assumes Chair Of Small States Forum
Dr Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister of the Caribbean jurisdiction of St Kitts
and Nevis, was appointed chairman of the Small States Forum during the IMF/World
Bank meeting in Dubai last week. The forum acts as a partnership between the world's small states and international
institutions such as the World Bank, Commonwealth Secretariat, the IMF, the
World Trade Organisation, the European Union and the United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development. Speaking at the forum last week, Dr Douglas, who assumes the chairmanship
from Mauritius, said one of his main priorities was to improve the allocation
of resources to social projects which are being held back by tight fiscal rules
imposed by international financial institutions on the smaller nations. .
